What is Mother of Pearl?

Mother of pearl is the lustrous coating that lines the inside of an oyster or mussel shell. It’s made of nacre, the same substance that pearls are made of. Only the mantle tissue of the mollusk can secrete nacre. The mantle tissue lines the shell and will coat anything that irritates the soft tissues with nacre. We sell some lovely mother of pearl beads on our Coral and Mother of Pearl Beads page.
